Food factories are held to high standards under UK regulations such as:
These rules require surfaces, including flooring, to be easy to clean, impermeable, non-toxic, and resistant to contaminants. Improper flooring can lead to bacterial growth, contamination, and ultimately, non-compliance.
Resin Flooring systems - especially Polyurethane (PU) screeds - offer a range of hygiene focused benefits, making them a popular choice in food production areas.
Resin floors are laid as a liquid and cure into a seamless surface. No joints or grout lines means nowhere for bacteria, dirt, or water to collect. A key requirement in hygiene-critical zones.
PU screeds are highly resistant to aggressive cleaning chemicals and withstand thermal shock from hot washdowns or cold storage environments. This keeps floors durable and sanitary, even under intense conditions.
To reduce the risk of accidents, resin flooring can include anti-slip aggregates tailored to different zones - from dry packing to wet processing areas.
The smooth surface of resin flooring makes it easy to clean and disinfect, which is essential for routine hygiene procedures and audit preparation.
High-grade resin flooring systems are often certified for use in food environments, with low VOC emissions and non-toxic finishes.
At MTF, we typically recommend the following systems for food production areas:
Each system can be tailored to your factory's needs, from slip resistance to colour zoning for hygiene and workflow control.
